Hildegard of Bingen Sophia

Hildegard cele­brated Sophia as a cosmic figure in both her writing and her art.
Sophia, in Catholic theology, is the Wisdom of God, and is thus eternal.

Celebrate St. Hildegard's Day!

Sophia!
You of the whirling wings,
circling, encom­passing energy from God
One wing sweeps the earth
and the third flies all around us.

Praise to Sophia 
Let all earth praise her.

Come!
